[Q] Help me get from Gingerblur 4.5 to CM7 please! - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my phone and put GingerBlur 4.5 (on 1.8.3?) on it a long time ago. I'd like to update to the latest from Motorola firmware with the unlocked boot loader and flash CM7.
I'm not sure how to do that though and I'm a little nervous to flash the firmware too because of all the bricked phones.
Can someone point me to the appropriate threads to read to get where I want to be?
Thanks,
Z

Yep... cm7 part in my guide has a link to my install instructions for CM7

[Q] Back to Stock and UNROOT Vibrant

Hi guys I wanted to get my Vibrant from custom rom n rooted to stock rom and unrooted
i read bunch of thread including the [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)
but i can't figure out which is the right method i need to use...
i didn't use Odin, i used OneclickRoot and Rom manager to install clockwork recovery and the custom rom (nerov3)
so can anyone give me a step by step process to how to proceed w/ the back to stock
i would really appreciate it
thanks
Just read up on the ODIN.. when you go back to stock, you'll be unrooted automatically
Here the link with tutorial.

I just want to say Thank you for the link you provided. Most posts replying to questions are the usual "just do a little searching ..." and no one ever provides a starting point.
I've spent a lot of time "searching" and running into conflicting information or information pertaining to a completely different issue.
So again, Thank you for the link. It made this post simple.
[EDIT] I almost forgot to ask jimprime, why are you wanting to go back to stock and unrooted ?
I have not yet rooted, but have noticed a lot of people are looking at going back to stock and I am curious. Why root in the first place?
well first its not really my phone second i just wanted to try out froyo on the vibrant didn't c much difference and i didn't really find it that much faster than the stock and i switch back to stock
yea this helps out alot

Where to start

Alright,I know this may get my head chewed off,but all the dev stuff here is scrambeled all over the place. It's easier for the ones that has been here since the beginning,coming in new to the atrix,its a little more complicated. Everywhere I read I see everyone saying diferent versions of the atrix shouldn't flash such and such.
Do I unlock bootloader first? Then root,then flash recovery,then install the Rom or kernal I want through cwm?
Sorry if I seem like a noob,but like I said,everything is scrambeled lol. I read the stickies,but the more reading I do,the more confused I come. I'm no noob,I know my way around all this,if i could get a simple yes or no,you won't see anymore noob questions like this from me,ever again.

I am not sure if there are other simpler ways to do this but this way worked for me so here goes: I have an AT&T atrix.
1) - Use RSD Lite to flash the 1.8.3 SBF. Guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072 I Used the full SBF not service just for a cleaner install. I rooted using GingerBreak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Link to all SBFs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944 get the AT&T 1.8.3 FULL
2) - Unlock your bootloader. Guide here: http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
3) - Install CWM recovery using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
4) - Use this flashable zip of 2.3.4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141013
5) - OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED Install Navalynt's MOD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142674 Download the v1.9 one without webtop fix.
Again I apologize if there is an easier/simpler way to do this but this worked for me and everything is great right now If you need any further assistance just ask.
Atrix guides are pretty much all over the place. When I modded/themed my friends Xperia X10 it was very easy. All the guides were stickied from the intro all the way to the other bits n pieces of info. I pretty much stayed on that page. I didn't even had to use the search function...lol

It is really a good instruction and link for the beginner. But you don't have to install all mod stuff. It depends on what you need. So far, I don't unlock bootloader and flash to new ROM. I did root, webtop mod and enabled sideload. It is good enough for me.

Wow,thanks bro. I didn't expect to be greeted with such welcome. I know how annoying a new comer can be. I started at the very beginning with the intercept,and I remember it was hard for the new comers to understand what was going on because everything had just started. Again,thanks bro. I don't have my atrix yet,but will soon. Ill hit the thanks button once I'm on my pc

will my vibrant update?

hello guys i am not an expert.
to be short , here are my questions.
my phone is rooted and miuimodel T959
android version 2.3.7
baseband T959UVKA7
kernel version is
2.6.35.12-gdf10700
build MIUI-111180
i had updated this version from my rooted and miui froyo version.
actually my vibrant was not entering into download mode so i used rom tool box.
first i downloaded the verion and then copied it to the sd card , and then ran it through ROM TOOLBOX. and wow my phone got updated to gingerbread.
now i have downloaded ICS_NBv8 build3.zip
can i run the file the same way as i did previously or do i have to take any other precuations?
please suggest and help
i dont understang the CM7 and all that stuff.
I go into recovery so I'm not sure about your method but what I can say is..... you're trying to install ics passion right? There's a version 10 out so go download that and install it. It'll most likely be better then the version you're trying to install

thanks for the quick reply , but could you please send me the link for downloading verion 10.?

Please read everything very carefully...also for passion ICS (since V.8) you need gingerbread bootloader...
please read the installation process several tomes if you are not sure ask, or don't flash at all...you might brick your phone otherwise!

downgrading to 2.3 to be able to root and go to ICS?

Hello,
Have done some searches and I just wanted to see if this is right as my Note was rooted with Gingerbread 2.3 and I stupidly upgraded with Kies to the official AT&T ICS software and lost my root. I have just a few questions.
Would the only way to get a rooted stock ICS rom on the phone (such as those available in the forum) be to downgrade to Gingerbread and root (which I have done before) then install one of the custom "stock" roms to have ICS but have root access? Or am I completely out of luck on rooting a stock ICS Note?
If so, could someone direct me to the thread with downgrading to gingerbread, as a search has not helped me to find instructions for doing so, and with all of the information on this site, I believe it has to be there and that I a just missing it?
Feel free to delete my post if I am completely lost and have posted erroneously in the wrong forum or anything to that effect.

Root with odin like you would on gb but on ICS. Just try the cm9 roms though, it will change your life
You do not need to downgrade to GB to root. What you need to do is boot the phone into download mode, and use Odin to flash a custom recovery (such as CWM). Once you have the custom recovery flashed, you can boot into recovery mode and flash the Superuser or Supersu zip file to give you root. Using this method is the most foolproof way.

and, you would get better answers if you would post a question in the Q&A thread, not in general...
Look in the custom rom section of this loser's thread...he is such a loser...make sure you flame the hell out of him, but here is his link....
go the custom rom section...you will the awesome ics offical already root...and debloated, and one thread has the pure virgin stock ics ....blah blah blah....

[Q] "That Rom" install and want to root it to flash 'AtrICS v2'

Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forum.
I own atrix 4G AT&T, and used in India right now. It was unlocked by code, so I regularly update it OTA whenever updates available from AT&T. I always come here and read here and there. Now I decided to flash ROM to explore Android v4.
And I decide to flash 'That ROM' shows as this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928844, followed that guide step by step and unfortunately, become soft brick. please note that, I followed guide for root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769497 but I think it was necessary to unlocked bootloader too (? not sure).
Next I googled for the solution and found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 , followed the steps prior to proper recovery and unlocked the boot loader, booting into Android v 4.0.4. I really enjoy it with some minor issue.
Now, I have some question or doubts :
1) I recover and unlocked the boot-loader as per instruction given, do I need to do follow the steps of PROPER RECOVERY ?
2) I found that, after the whole process, the boot-loader is unlocked, but do not have root access, is there any method to root 'That Rom' ?
3) Is it possible to flash [ROM] AtrICS v2.0 by Team Hope [build: 20121114] ? without root ?
Thank you and Good-Day !
Why do you want to flash an unstable and quite obsolete ROM?
Thank for the reply, Not particularly atrICSv2 but, looking around for an option. Any suggestion? Any thought on my doubts?
